Presence, Not Performance: The Confidence Others Feel Around You
The need for “executive presence” is the vague phrase that shows up in performance reviews as the reason women don't get the promotion – even though almost no one can define it. Lindsay Patterson, co-founder and CEO of CPA QualityPro, joins Nancy and Questian to strip it down to something simpler and more meaningful: instilling confidence in others that you're the right person for the job. They dig into the double-standard that turns an assertive woman into "aggressive"; what to do when office culture rewards the loudest jerk in the room; and why walking away from a toxic culture is never failure.Show notes:• Guest on LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/lindsaypatterson• CPA QualityPro – cpaqualitypro.com• The Accounting Podcast – “Solving for CPA Mobility with Lindsay Patterson” – accounting.show/472• Amy Cuddy TED Talk – “Your body language may shape who you are” – ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy• Sylvia Ann Hewlett – Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Merit and Success• Earmark CPE – earmark.app SPONSORS: [Bill, Relay, Karbon]Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/
